rock art we found on our day trip around wyndham, surprisingly, there are no barriers and no graffitti, maybe the drive in from the main road deters the vandals? these have been dated back to, oh, i think it was sometime last week?
the giant BOAB tree in wyndham CP, it is largest tree, in captivity, in aussie.
granted Lyn is a little vertically challenged, but, still gives you idea how big the thing is.
just out of wyndham. we were going to go for a swim, but...............
...................its almost 400 steps to the bottom, and we were short on time!
this is back in Kunnunurra, whole heap of people have planted trees here, they seemed to be replanting all the new growth away from Rolf Harris' tree????
bungle bungle campsite, although they called it a caravan park!
Bungle Butcher delivers fresh to the campsite, daily!
and, after what is verrry close to being the worst 50Ks we have found, the bungle bungle NP, the grey line in the middle is actually a termite mound nest(?)
cathedral gorge, amazing place, almost forgotten the 50k by now!
the end of echidna chasm, the gap at the top is so narrow the endomondo lost sattelites and robbed us of about 2k that we walked.
entrance to the chasm, you can see the gap narrowing at the top of the chasm, actually gets to where there is no direct sunlight in spots.
flying boat wrecks in broomne harbour, from jap air raids during WWII at low very low tides you can walk out across the MUDFLATS to the wrecks, I took photos from town beach.
hovercraft out on the mudflats off town beach, all waiting for the moon to rise. and, after spending all of 5 mins to check out the markets and sitting waiting, waiting..............
the moon appears, and we have the staircase to the moon, believe me, it was about as impressive sitting there, we adjourned to the ROEY for a counter tea and a couple of settlers to steady the pulse rate down again.
rail bridge over Degrey river, about 80k north of pt hedland.
campsite at Degreys, great spot, so good every bastard wanted to camp on top of us!!
kookaburra nest in tree alongside our camp site
kookas in another tree, pretending they werent going to the nest.
if anybody had tried to get within a mile of this place with a camera, back when the yanks were here, they would have been shot, as for telling anyone what the place was, you would still be breaking rocks somewhere, my how times change, if you go up to the lighthouse lookout it tells you the entire history of harry e and gives you detailed layout of the aerial farm, no terrorist would attack the farm because every 20m or so is little sign hanging on the fence 'commonwealth property KEEP OUT', that will stop the bastards! if you couldnt read the white sign and didnt work it out from the pic above, it is a submarine comms base. if local rumour is right, the yanks are coming back, see how long before all the signs come down!
lunch spot in cape range NP and below the view from there..........
first night out of exmouth, hiding behind a huge dirt hill in an old rta stockpile site, about 20k north of carnarvon, no road noise that night!
campsite, murchison river, just north of geraldton, took a while but talked ourselves into staying longer than the one night we had planned
we had couple of these in the tree next to us, wish i could have drawn as many birds when i was a teenager!
campsite at lake indoon, we stayed extra nights here too, had flush dunnies and hot showers, and of course we woke up each morning to the lousy bloody view.....
black swans on the lake
our campsite, from about 2.5k across the lake..........
and best of all, the ranger never came to pickup the rent, i thought they were bit much anyway!
pergandes sheep yards, just out of bencubbin, the ufo is just so you realise its in WA!
this bloke settled here in 1910, the rock walls of his sheepyards he got from quite a distance away, the way he got each slab was to heat the rock face with fire, then, cool it quickly with water, easy really, all he had to do than was to drag it all back and stand it up in the ground, bloody hardy bastards back then!!!
you can see the lake in the background behind the sign, if you look reallll hard!
probably environmentally wrong, but, parked on billiburning rock near Beacon. campsite is around the rock to the right, dunny but no water.
rainbow wave, elachbutting rock, the campsite is just to the left, has a dunny but no water!
on top of elachbutting rock, there is an approved 4wd track access up to here
looking down on montys pass, its where the rock slide area is to left of black hole.
montys pass
you can see daylight at the start, only goes about 60m and comes out........
thru the little black hole in middle of pic, walk back around thru the scrub is easier going
lizards, there were about 6, by the time i found them in the view finder and zoomed in rest had scarpered,
montys wave, no idea who monty was, guess he was first in and put his name on everything?
Gabbin school bus, its last week of hols so guess it will get wash and polish on monday? guess the driver stays to stop the vandals, maybe he dozed off couple of times....
the school operated from 1922 - 2000, imagine any kids out here would go to Bencubbin.
and what can i say, another sunset, another red
